CARD PROXY: The Official Cacher's Cookbook by the Iowa Geocachers Organization

This trackable's mission is to be used and passed along as often as possible.  Please do not keep this trackable.  I have released it so that others can share in its bounty.  

EDITED TO ADD:  This coin/tag was missing in action for well over a year, so I grabbed it from its previous location and created a replacement proxy to get the trackable back into play.  It is now a used (empty) gift card that has been modified with waterproof labels and clear packing tape to keep the marker ink from running.  I would greatly appreciate when you log this trackable, that you comment on its condition so I know whether these recycled items are holding up during the journey, so I can determine if it would be beneficial to use this method in the future.  Your assistance is greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

The tracking number of a Geocoin in my personal collection has been written in The Official Cacher's Cookbook, which was produced by the Iowa Geocachers Organization (www.IowaGeocachers.org), to make it trackable.

I love to cook and when I found out my neighbors to the north were putting out a cookbook, I had to contribute.  I'm sharing five of my personal, family recipes - some of which are my own (top secret recipe!) creations - so I hope you enjoy them!  

I would request that in addition to your moving this cookbook along, that you also try at least one recipe and post in your log which one(s) you tried and what you thought of them.  (No, they don't have to be MY recipes; just try something that you think sounds good!)  Also, consider 'dipping' the cookbook in the Geocache located nearest to your home location, to ensure that miles are added to its path, so we can see where it goes.

Feel free to copy any of the recipes into your own cookbooks for future use, or Xerox the whole thing, if you wish, but please, Please, PLEASE move the cookbook along so that other cachers may enjoy it as well.

Due to the size of the cookbook, obviously it will fit in a limited number of containers.  Consider taking it to an Event Cache and letting others discover it or pass it along there.  Just be sure to remind them that the cookbook should be logged, perused and sent on its way again.

Oh, and by the way, yes, I do have a copy of this cookbook in my personal collection, so if you discovered this cookbook and copied down a recipe then lost it, you can always send me a message asking me for the recipe.
